Carrera Bavaria
Our ever-popular Carrera series explores Southern Germany and Austria
Summary
Our fifth Carrera took crews through the lakes and valleys of the Black Forest, via the shores of Lake Constance, to the dramatic mountains spanning the Austrian border. With stunning hotels, fine dining, motor museums, wineries and great camaraderie along the way, the close-run competition was decided on the final day with four Tests in the Alps.
